Review: THE LION KING at PPAC is a Must-See Theatrical Marvel
The Lion King, a Tony Award-winning Broadway hit, proves its brilliance in a stunning stage adaptation at the Providence Performing Arts Center. This production masterfully translates the animated classic into a captivating live experience.
The Lion King swept the Tony awards when it was on Broadway, and even for this semi-skeptical theatre reviewer, it’s easy to see why. It seems impossible to translate a cartoon about the lives of animals into a stage production performed by people, or at least, it seems like it will be corny. This production, however, is completely unlike any other theatrical experience. It hews faithfully enough to the story to satisfy the super fans, but adds so many new elements that it’s astonishing and delightful to watch.
